Question 1

What is the virtual lab and how does it simulate experiments?

Accepted Answer

The virtual lab is a physics and chemistry-aware simulation environment. AI agents run your experimental protocol step-by-step, validating thermodynamic constraints, checking kinetic feasibility, and flagging solubility or compatibility issues before you go to the bench. Every step is grounded in real physical and chemical laws.

Question 2

How does Vicena find and extract protocols from scientific sources?

Accepted Answer

The AI agent searches PubMed, arXiv, and the open web for papers matching your experiment. It then extracts every variable -- temperatures, concentrations, durations, reagents -- independently from each source, cross-references them, and assigns confidence scores so you know which values are well-supported and which need verification.

Question 3

Can the AI agents actually carry out experiments in a virtual world?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The simulation agent takes your complete protocol and executes each step in a virtual environment that models real-world physics and chemistry. It checks energy balances, reaction rates, and reagent compatibility at every stage, producing a feasibility report that tells you whether the experiment will work and why.

Question 4

What scientific databases does Vicena search?

Accepted Answer

Vicena searches PubMed, arXiv, Google Scholar, Google Patents, PubChem, and the open web in parallel. It uses adaptive query refinement to ensure comprehensive coverage of your research topic and can cross-reference results across all sources.
